19 STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENTS 18 STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENTS The University of Nottingham first caught my attention while I was in high school. Boasting as one of the very first branch campus operating from UK, I had high expectations that this will be an education experience unlike any other. Although the university was still young when I first enrolled, the education which was offered was on par with other matured institutions. With a mix of experienced lecturers from around the world, we were exposed to multiple schools of thought and learning styles which mentally prepared us for the challenging world. The university has indeed prepared me well to face the industrial standards and harsh realities by organising group work, presentations and weekly assignments. I also had the chance to freely interact with not only my coursemates from multi-disciplinary background, but also lecturers who practised the open door concept. The Nottingham edge enabled each of us to grow at our own pace and enhance our ideas from a platform above others. One example was my research project being showcased at the Symposium of Chemical Engineers Upon graduation, I was lucky enough to enter the oil and gas industry. Now 10 years after the grand opening of the university, I have high hopes that Nottingham university will grow even better, I look forward to more achievements from graduates of Nottingham. Celarence Tai 27 years old, Malaysian MEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering Quotations Analyst, Baker Hughes, KL What attracted me to study at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus were its cutting-edge research strength, top-notch education and world-class renowned degree courses that offer a ticket to a vista of opportunities and career paths. A combination of practical and theoretical learning, a diverse range of lecturers expertise and the opportunity to participate in current research and industrial experience through internships and final year individual projects is what provided me with the Nottingham Edge. I was impressed with Nottingham s focus on practical application, emphasis on commercial software learning such as Pro/Engineer and FLUENT, and enhancement of soft skills through oral and poster presentations and group projects. The lecturers made it a point to relate the subject to current research trends and industrial practices and always challenged us to think outside the box. External invited guest speakers and frequent faculty research talks complemented the theory taught in class. A distinct privilege of being a BEng Mechanical student at the Malaysia campus was that we were enrolled as Affiliate Members of The Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE, UK) and through the local Young Member s Branch in Malaysia, we were able to participate in industrial plant visits, inter-campus competitions such as Speak Up for Engineering and interact with other students from within Malaysia and around the world. These are the reasons why I choose to remain and continue with my PhD studies at Nottingham Malaysia. I was able to extend my third year individual project to a research study through a full Nottingham scholarship. I also was the recipient of the IMechE Best Project University Award and IMechE Environmental Issues Industrial Award. Similarly, I ve had the opportunity to participate in a number of international academic conferences such as the Universitas 21 (of which Nottingham is a member) Graduate Conference: Sustainable Cities for the Future at the University of Melbourne and University of Queensland, Australia and have received a Building Experience and Travel Scholarship (BESTS) fund to do a research placement at the University of Salento, Italy; both sponsored by the Graduate School, UK Campus. I was also elected as an Associate Member of the IMechE and look forward to becoming a Chartered Engineer in the future.
